Up until last night, Nuru had no want for monetary gain. Today, he found himself roaming the institute and asking about where to get money fast. He was re-directed all over until finally finding the right way. Damn this "Rep" demon did not hold still in one place for long.
The public bath was different though, he was sure he'd catch him in time as such a place generally indicated luxury and relaxation. He was told they were a wrath demon and he hoped he was not disrupting them enough to discover such a demon's namesake.
As he walked in the door, he shrugged off his clothes and his human form with them. He took on a shape somewhere between human and creature, blue and fuzzy with long pointed ears but also bare blue skin with hands, and feet. A long serpentine tail dragged along the floor behind him. All of him was bared but far from bothered by any of it.
He rinsed off before making his way over to the bath. He peered around in search of the demon they called "Rep". When he realized there was only one wrath demon present and it was one he'd recognized, his heart sank. He hoped they wouldn't recognize him as he sauntered over casually despite the anxiety and asked, "Room foa one moa?"

Rep was in the baths trying to relax after a long day patrolling the borders of Purgatory. He wasn't expecting company, but company seemed to find him on its own more often than not, it was the situation today.
Half-immersed in the water, the demon's wings floated to either side of him, all rich browns and reds and splayed in the water, somewhere at his feet a feathered tiger tail also floated. He was simultaneously unmistakable and hard to miss, what appeared to be a strange blend of humanoid, tiger and rooster, much as he'd seen in the fast food place before.
As a general rule, he was used to hostility from the other demons, after all he was not a "true" demon the way they were, many of them had known him when he was nothing but a very successful Nephilim. They weren't slow to tell him this, and he was equally quick to make them regret doubting what he was capable of. He was where he was for a reason and there weren't many lower rank demons he couldn't take effortlessly in a fight.
Nuru got a raised brow fleetingly and then a nod. "Looks like it to me." he said, gesturing at the large empty pool which seethed and simmered in all many of delicious and unholy scents.

Nuru chose then to climb in and plop right next to Rep in the comfortably hot waters. He eyed one of the wrath demon's wings as it floated out in front of him. "Et mus' be nice ta fly," he commented conversationally. He wanted to touch the wing, in fact, but was aware he was here on business and not pleasure.
"Ya Rep?" He inquired while leaning back against the edge of the bath to make himself more comfortable.

Rep didn't look concerned by Nuru, barely looking at the other demon, though below the surface his tail lashed quietly, swishing through the water. "It's all right." he said, not really mentioning that he wasn't exactly an elegant flyer, his wings attached at the rather inconvenient location of his lower back. Everything about his posture did however say that touching the wing would have been a bad idea.
"But aye, I'm Rep. What's up?"

"Ahm Nuru and ahm lookin' foa work," Nuru still eyed the wing distractedly. It didn't hurt to simply wonder what it felt like. His own tail floating up to the surface to curl just at the tip, resembling a serpent in its subtle but fluid movements. The rest of his body started to lazily float to the surface. "Ahve been told ya da mon to talk ta foa dat."

Rep snorted. "They always send people to me for that sort of s**t. But aye, I guess I relay a lot of the field work. What sort of s**t are you interested in?" And he relaxed back against the edge of the pool, his hair splayed around him like a sodden mane, letting the rest of him float as he closed his eyes.
"There's missions around the abyss of chaos, controlling monsters, but those might be too dangerous for you right now. There's also trimming off s**t that bleeds over into earth from purgatory, maybe more your style. There's patrols, hunting down angels, helping neph on retrieval missions. Can you fight?"
He smirked. "You could also take a few shifts in the cafeteria, if you are the lazy sort who cannae."

"Ahm no lazeh," Nuru sounded almost offended, his gaze finally fixed on Rep's face, and mayyybe a few stripes along the way. "Ah like a good fight..." his tongue poked out between his lips with a devilish smirk. "The bloodiyah da bettah," and he licked his lips just to make his point.
"But ahm not lookin' foa anythin' specific beyon 'pays well' an 'pays fas'. Ah got mah eye on sometin."

Rep raised a brow at the other Demon ever so slightly. There were a lot of people who said they liked a fight but when faced with an actual battlefield, crumbled and couldn't follow orders. It wasn't a bar-fight or the power scuffles so normally found in hell. "Okay." he said. "We'll see how well you fight first, before throwing you into anything too severe."
"I'll pay you a couple of hundred to deal with the pest problem in the sewers under the institute. s**t gets down there, then it grows on the passive SIN residue and we end up with some ******** rats of unusual size."
He smirked. "Gotta start small, but if its money you are after I guess I can help with that, Hell's pretty ******** rich, as things go. Hope you know how to use a weapon, and that you don't mind gross s**t. I'll give you the key to get in when we are out of here, bring me back five tails and you've got a deal."
"Sound good?" he said with a smirk.

A couple of hundred sounded like exactly what Nuru needed for tickets and a small amount of overgrown sin-rats were all that seemed to stand in his way. He turned and stood up, offering a clawed hand to Rep. "Yah," he said before thinking a little more carefully about the decision. A thought struck him and he decided to add, "where do ah get a weapons?"

Rep stopped lounging to sit up a bit and give Nuru a concerned look. "You don't know how to create a weapon?" This seemed like a fairly large oversight and though he knew the previous ownership of the newbie introductions at the institute had been lax, he didn't know how lax.
"Well." he said. "It's just made from your energy, it's part of you. It's like when you shift forms. You should be able to call whatever it is forth just by needing it. Which you will, when it comes to fighting the rats in the sewers. Maybe you've just never needed it till now."

"Ah've certainleh nevah needed one befoah. Usualleh ah jus use mah own mout oa mah claws." But his explanation somehow seemed to still make sense. Somewhat.
"At leas dis will be extra fun," he grinned toothily. "Discoverin a whole new part of mahself."

"Aye." Rep said. "Fun." He didn't consider running around in the sewers much fun, though he had done it more than a few times when he was a nephilim. There hadn't been much he hadn't turned his hand to at one time or other. "Just hope you don't end up with a daft ******** weapon, knew a guy who found out his weapon was a double bass rather than something useful like a ******** sword."
He relaxed back again like a huge satisfied cat. "But feel free to bite the rats, they taste absolutely rancid."

Nuru eyed Rep over thoughtfully, "Fightin' is da fun part. Not da sewery bit." He could think of a few other fun things to do but quickly realized the rats were probably the only choice right now he might actually succeed at.
"Ah dun wanna know how ya know what da rats taste like," he winked at Rep. "But ah bes' get goin. Da rats ain gunna kill demselves an ah get da feelin' ya don like waitin eidder."

Rep gave Nuru a smile that showed off a set of very long and sharp canines. "I'm no going to argue with you that fighting is the best part."
He twisted his tail around one of the other demon's feet fleetingly. "And you'd guess /right/."

Feeling the tail against skin, Nuru glanced down just as it slid away again. He offered a smirk of approval at the tail, the teeth, and the impatience.
"See ya soon den," and with that he was off. Key in tow and a newer, short term goal on his mind. Or two.
